Senate Postpones Slashing Medicare Doc Pay

Medicare physicians have just received an early Christmas gift - the Senate voted last Thursday to postpone a 23 percent in their pay until December 31. It is expected that the House will vote on the measure after Thanksgiving recess.

The cut was scheduled to go into effect on December 1. If the House votes to delay it, the one-month extension will be paid for by changes in Medicare reimbursement for outpatient therapy services.
